Weather

Important weather update!

It's now absolutely chucking it down at Molineux as heavy rain has swept over the stadium.

Conor, a Scouser and Reds fan, joined his boyhood club in 2005 and went on to make two first-team appearances before leaving for Huddersfield Town nine years later.

"They're great memories, not just as a footballer but as a person growing up," the 25-year-old defender says of his time at Anfield.

"It sounds daft but ultimately I realised I had to come away from Liverpool to play the first-team football I needed. It's a fantastic place, a huge football club and they helped me a lot. I'm grateful for coming through there.

"I was lucky to train with Carragher and Gerrard, and watch what they did on a daily basis - they never missed a session. I'd look at how Carragher played, how he spoke and he was big to follow."

Klopp assesses Wolves

Here's what the boss had to say about the size of the challenge awaiting Liverpool at Molineux tonight.

"They are really strong. We have go there and really be at our best again. They do a really good job.

"I saw the City game. Of course City were better and were unlucky with the goal Wolves scored that day, it was handball. But the way they defended as a team, coming from a football-playing side, was really impressive.

"That's the job to do week in and week out; first Wolves, then Newcastle, then Arsenal, then City and then Wolves again. It's exciting times, it's a good moment. It only worked so far because the boys were always focused on a specific job and that's what we will try to do again."

"We just want to play the game and try to win the game and then we will see what will happen at the end of the week. We just have to make sure we win our game, that's the only thing we have to do.

"I think Wolves have shown already against the 'big' teams that they are a good playing side, especially at home, so it's going to be a really, really tough game. We know we have to be 100 per cent concentrated to win that game."
